Brian was the son of a friend of mine. I'm not posting his site to get you to buy anything from it. I just would like you to read about him.
In Memory of Brian Edward Sweeney, FDNY.
Who, along with thousands of others, was killed in the Twin Towers on 9/11/01.
You are all always in our prayers, hearts and minds
To see his story go to BriansFund.com
If you know of people who were lost on this terrible day. Post some info about them here too.

Denny Cook, 33, Colts Neck, NJ ~ Husband to Dana, father of two beautiful little girls. ~ Born in Lancaster PA, he grew up in my home town and went to Lancaster Catholic High School. I had such a huge crush on him - mostly because of his contagious smile and sense of humor.
He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald and was one of all 658 employees killed that day who were in the office.
He was a remarkable person and would have done anything for anybody. Great family... great friends.. he had it all. 5 Years later and it is still hard to believe that so many wonderful people were taken from us that day.
Please view this wonderful website if you haven't seen it yet... a beautiful song and tribute to victims....

I know...... that song really gets to me. I sang that at a friends funeral about a year later and could barely get through it. At first I thought the woman's voice was Cindi Lauper... it's not, but she did a great job.... very powerful
aside - Dana received Denny's wedding band several months after it happened on the day of their anniversary. Someone found it in a fountain blocks away from the site. Luckily his and her initials were in the ring. It's almost like he wanted her to have it.

My prayers are with his family and friends on this 5th anniversary and for all time.
